Labour's Shadow Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, faced confrontations in Leeds over her stance on the conflict in Gaza. During her campaign, residents and local Muslims challenged her, asking, "Will you vote for a ceasefire Rachel" and questioning her position on Israel's actions, such as turning off water supplies to Gaza with, "How do you feel about Israel turning off the water?". They expressed attempts to reach her through mosques, stating, "We tried to reach you through the mosques but you haven't responded." The situation escalated to the point where Reeves had to cancel a canvassing session and fled the scene due to the intensity of the confrontations.
